Last year’s ‘MasterChef Australia’ winner Larissa Takchi said it took her family’s cafe Wild Pear Cafe a “year of work” done in just a few days weeks to launch an innovative drive-thru service for customers.

The former reality star said the cafe’s famous dishes, Turkish Delight Pavlova and the signature chilli jam remain on the drive-thru menu, while other items will be added including an Easter take-home lunch special.

She’s surprised by the positive response in these trying times, especially from “loyal customers who came regularly during ‘pre-covid’ times”.

“It’s nice to see that our customers support us at our lowest. It’s keepingus super motivated to keep our doors open.”
